U definitly Don't have enough light!!!!! U need around 10,000lumens per sq foot on average. I use 16,000lumens per sqf. With cfls lumens are the best way to messure but anything else it's better to use par value or moles of light. Looks like u got nute burn with the brown edges

You're stuck in seedling stage. Transplant and give light. Lots of light.

More light usually helps but there has to be something else wrong besides light. 4 23w cfls is enough light that the plant should have been doing ok and growing faster than it has. It would be tall and stretchy if it wasn't getting enough light. In my opinion something has severely stunted that plant early in it's life. Possibly too many nutrients.

Sorry but that is just plain wrong.
I completely agree. It just looks a little overwatered to me, but honestly I don't think it looks that bad. Now that it's bigger it'll be easier to avoid overwatering. I think it just needs a little time to get going again and it'll start growing fast. What is your watering schedule?
I agree with the others that you want more light down the road, but I also agree with Burny that you have enough for such a small plant, so I don't think lack of light is causing your current symptoms.
If you're using distilled water you definitely want to add a Cal-Mag supplement, because distilled water doesn't contain any micronutrients (which you'd normally find in spring water or tap water). Generally you'd add a Cal-Mag supplement with every other watering, but considering you're using distilled water you may want to use it every time. Cannabis loves calcium!
Your seedling does not look that bad, it just needs some TLC! I've definitely seen seedlings look a lot worse from overwatering/heat and bounce right back

Yes, and as far as stunted seedlings go, it's not that bad. It can be saved. Not everyone's grow goes perfectly, but that doesn't mean you should just give up on a plant that is still green and growing, especially if it's your only plant.
